The Face of the Third Reich
Why read it?
1 author picked The Face of the Third Reich as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I found this book by the German scholar Joachim Fest many years ago at a flea market. Fest’s portrait of Hitler and a dozen high-ranking officials of the Third Reich became models for my own writing. Fest maps out the range of personalities—their cruelty, greed, and misplaced ideals—and the way in which Hitler encouraged rivalry among them to preserve absolute power for himself.
From David's list on The best books for understanding Nazi Germany.
